Seriously, though, if POTM threads shouldn't get spammy, then they should be closed the day after the polls are over. That way, there's no time to go off-topic - Only time to congratulate the winner and whatnot.

As you probably already don't know, this issue at hand has already been discussed here and here. If you check the thread history before July 2012, you'll notice that I used to close threads 1-3 days after the polls ended. Since the discussion came up though, and people wanted time to congratulate, when I've opened the polls I have left them open until the nomination thread for the next month was started. If you guys wanna encourage it to be like how it was before though, well then I guess we'll have to start closing them early again. Just thought I could expect more from some people by now...

If you want to bring your opinion on the matter, please use the Stickied Discussion thread I linked to above. I am locking this thread now. Congratulations on the much awaited win again, Nibblet.
